Final Fantasy XIII probably isn't coming out in the US until 2010 and it was the sole reason i wanted a PS3 (well, also i wanted to install Ubuntu on it) and got one last christmas :(

The Cauchy-Schwarz inequality is a special case of Hölder's inequality.

A lot more people than I thought want Apple to regulate the App Store by playing nanny.

nothing...

nothing, I'm on summer holidays!

Gmail is STILL in beta.

My cell phone's pedometer says I walk more than I actually do.

I find that I seem to be extremely fast at finding the "counterfeit" painting in the game Counterfeit. I can score about 500 points in 20-30 min. Is this unusual? Everyone else I've watched play seems much slower.

That the math teacher I want is hilarious, he calls himself MC Kim, like the rapper, that's how he starts a new class and he spent one summer redoing his bathroom and got the derivative of his toilet bowl

This week, I've learned how much it actually costs to hire venues for weddings. I've also learned that I use the Internet much more than I thought (since I'm now over my 3GB allowance, which was already increased from 1GB and then 2GB). I'm sure I've learned more useful things that that though...

Human rights conditions in China are worse than I thought... The Lao Gia is a bad thing... Maybe the Olympics need to be more political... A lot of people are boycotting the Olympics...
Irish drinking songs rock!
Ziphone isn't good for jailbreaking the iphone 2.0 firmware.

The decomposable plastic polylactide is a century old.
Some stuff about testing QR barcode software...
I am sure I forgot some other stuff I learned...

I learned that the local tax office isn't that bad when you show them everything in an tax audit session even things they don't want to see. That way they think that everything seems to be ok and drop most of the parts from the audit. Well, I think that doesnt work all the time.

This week, I've learned from an insider that what I've revealed in 2007 about GG Score and values in dollars in SERPs (http://www.zorgloob.com/2007/10/gg-score-un-indice-de-googler.asp) comes from a toolbar used internally by Google. Code name: "Glengarry".

I bet you didn't know that too.

Making papercrafts is really fun and easy!

I learnd another thing: Dutch are sometimes slow

*why* oracle's bitmap indexes are inappropriate for OLTP

I lived my life to the fullest!
Work, bike, run, and be happy.

That excanvas.js does not support toDataURL.

that i can use foxmarks to sync up my bookmarks on my pc and laptop

also, that "satellite" is intimidating for a first-year guitarist, but that slow, steady practice makes it less intimidating.

I learnt that an Imaging /document rention systems was not in conformance with CEA (Canadian Evidence Act)!! :)-

- we have a right to express our opinions – and the Lithuanian government wants to add "Opinions must be backed by facts" to it. So it would be illegal to say "My boss is an idiot" unless you could prove that.

- There are people who will scream at you for breaking your work computer, if you move the taskbar to the top of the screen.

- If gethostbyaddr() returns something strange, check /etc/hosts.

- There is no "Arrange by penis".

- If Firefox doesn't let you backup your certifictes, disable Torbutton.

- many people add my @gmail.com address to their Google Talk, even though I tell them that my XMPP/Gtalk address is grawityakl.lt

I learned the basics of cooking (I was really alone for the first time in my life)
-yes, it's a bit embarrasing-

8 is a lucky number in China

That I shold give canvas a try ...

I learned that there are books about social media. I need them for a capstone project.

I learned networking (UDP) and multithreading skillz in Visual C++. Thus far I had only programmed in standard C++, and Visual Basic. This hybrid is verbose and unnecessarily unwieldy.

This week i learned how technology is used in major games like Olympics & commonwealth.

When you see it from outside, you don't even guess it close to reality.

* That flock is amazing for blogging
* That google reader standard settings aren't the best way to use it (got some amazing tweaks off the thirty day challenge [http://www.ThirtyDayChallenge.com/challenge/10991])
* That twitter can be used for business purposes (John Jantsch [http://www.ducttapemarketing.com/blog/2008/08/04/twitter-for-business/] has a freebie on it)
* That I'm not the only one starting the Thirty day challenge late...
* That unless you get a good seat on the train, trying to balance a laptop on short legs is bound to get your neighbour annoyed
* Pretty much everyone behind you is going to be trying to read what you get up on said laptop, ESPECIALLY if you have headphones plugged in
* I LOVE FRIDAYS! And wireless at Gloria Jeans with a good coffee after work...
* The most amazing photos happen when the weather is absolute, um, how to say this without getting banned – think of a synonym for 'excrement', people.
* That starting early, hard as it is, makes for a REALLY good feeling when you get to knock off earlier too!
* and finally, that the internet and web 2.0 is coming closer and closer to resembling a much expanded version of the old IRC I used to love... Conversations EVERYWHERE!

1) Downloading over 100 feeds through iTunes for my first iPod (iPod Nano, 8 GB, 3rd generation) took more space than was available on my hard drive, because I have a laptop with a 60 GB hard drive, but I have installed Linux and Windows, so approximately 9 GB of podcasts is the limit with my current laptop.
2) I took Google Page Creator for granted. I thought it would graduate from Google Labs, but now I need to decide whether to move my unofficial Google FAQs and other Google-related files back to Yahoo! GeoCities, wait for the transition from Google Page Creator to Google Sites or maybe even buy my own domain.
3) Playing some of my games online with other people with my Xbox 360 using my mobile 1 Mbps connection (Finnish Sonera Liikkuva Laajakaista mokkula connection) is possible when my main internet connection has hiccups.

Doesn't matter how often you defragment your hard disk, if is 5200rpm, it will NEVER be fast :)

that the countryside south of Springfield, MIssouri is very very pretty.

thanks Streetview!

OT: streetview enhancement idea:
if i'm "driving" around in streetview, wouldnt be great to see where other streetviewers are (if they've logged in via their google account)... it would be interesting to see where the most popular areas are – are they downtown in cities, or in the countryside. what cities are the most popular?

and if you are "driving" around, you would see other streetviewers as avatars maybe, superimposed on the streetview. you could maybe have an option to engage in real time chat if you bump into another streetviewer when driving around Tokyo say...

it would be a different sort of social network, that i think would be a lot of fun and be thoroughly addictive...

I learned what, exactly, tail recursion is, and why it's so important to languages like F# and Scala.

I learned that moving a dumbell from its usual resting position to sit on top of another pair of dumbells (for ease of starting a set), and missing, can smash fingers pretty good.

I agreed with you

Jack Benny's really funny:

ps: I suppose you already knew that, eh?

Forks, Washington is a real town. Though, I doubt there are vampires living there.

Thanks! Really interesting. Big ups!

All people who have ever managed to build a silly homepage consider themselves as web design experts and attend to any vacant positions in sight.

I've seen that before but completely forgot about it. It's purely brilliant.

I learnt that this world isnt going last forever particularaly when seeing all the starting wars and human greed behind that. Take pleasue in what you have now cause it will soon (believe it or not just a mater of a few years) be too late. Things like google or any other crap will cease to matter.

I'm learning that focusing on what you have learned in the last week is not that easy.

(I expected more meta-answers like these. And I don't like meta-answers.)

Ah, and I also expected the question: Philipp, what will you do with all these answers?

A bit late, but I learn something worth sharing today.
The USPS uses mules to transport mails. Heh, you didn't expect that did you!

Haochi,
No way.... I had to reasearch to believe this!

"We move mail using planes, trains, trucks, cars, boats, ferries, helicopters, bicycles, hovercrafts, subways and even mules."
